Strongers . left this review about Queen's Head

The Queens Head is an L-shaped Crouch Vale pub with wood panelling throughout and seating across the front and up the right on the other side of a log burner where there’s a dartboard on the rear wall. There’re four hand pumps on each bar, in the bar I was sat in two were unused leaving Essex Boy’s Best and Brewers Gold as the cask options. The service was polite and I’d revisit if in the area again, if only to improve my drunken notes.

Crouch Vale pub a few yards away from the GBG Orange Tree. A nice old-fashioned interior, wood heavy with plenty of panelling and fairly interwar in feel. A friendly landlady stood behind the bar with three of the brewery’s cask offerings. “A small brewery taphouse with a nice interior not in the GBG? But why?” I pondered. The answer was soon to become apparent as my pint of Extra Gold tasted more like Extra Mould, rank and aspiratored for weeks (NBSS 1) which I had to discreetly tip away in the garden. Quite how Crouch Vale can allow this to happen is a great unanswerable but they need to get a grip here, fast. No wonder I was the only customer. What happened to the pub that was scoring 8+ a few years ago?

Blue Scrumpy left this review about The Queen's Head

The Queen's Head is one of a number of backstreet pubs near the cricket ground.

The pub is run by Crouch Vale and has their Brewer's Gold & Essex Boys Best Bitter on as the regular beers. Yakima Gold & Ten Forty Six were also on. But I was disappointed not to find a dark beer.

My Yakima Gold tasted like vinegar. The barmaid was apologetic and did offer to replace it. But I didn't really fancy any of the others.

The traditional bar at the front opens up slightly to a brighter more modern feeling area towards the rear. But with just a handful of customers, it felt reasonably full.
